They have been in refrig ever since I recieved them. One of the nuts
was sprouting. I hope they all sprout. Thanks very much. I'm
collecting white oaks (attempting to clone from cuttings) variations
from across the southeastern US that have a tendency to attact
wildlife more than the avarage oak. Do you know of any??

Glad to hear that you found them and at least one is sprouting.I take
the ones that I want to start and put them in a place outdoors where
they will get wet when it rains but not be laying in water. I find
covering them in old rotten leaves seems to be the best.
Tons of oak to choose from. Not sure what would be best. Depends
on what you're trying to feed or attract.Seems pin oak acorns are
small,though probably high in tannic acid. White oak is preferred
especially if you're going to eat them yourself.
Found some interesting oaks at Hanover College,In. They appear to
be chestnut oak by the leaves but have a mossey cup or burr cup type
acorn. Couldn't find it in my tree book. Have about 15 of them as
seedlings on my property now.
